    SWans believe it or not!

    In the tradition of Ripley's, the DOK thread brought up a possibility of the Spriggs/DOK possible coincidence. Creswell in there too apparently.

    Can anyone else think of any weird relationships for players/clubs.

    The one that jumps to mind for me is Jason Ball. Played his first first grade game against the Swans and his last against West Coast. Won a premiership with each.

    And no, the one about the Swans recruiting duds from Geelong does not count!

    Any others?

          Paul Kelly played his first AND his last game for the Swans!
          Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

              The Swans have figured in more 1 point results (wins and losses) than any other team in the VFL/AFL.

                  I knew it ! I suppose 2005 was just different in that some started to go our way.

                      For a while we had four captains as
                      1. Barry Hall
                      11. Stewart Maxfield
                      21. Leo Barry
                      31. Brett Kirk

                              Easy.

                              We have more brownlows than any other team.

                                          We had the longest premiership drought in history.
                                          Thankfully now over.

                                          I'm sure the run of games with WC i believe 6 games decided by a total of 13 points would have to be a record.

                                              What about 4 games in 2 consecutive finals series against WCE where the sum of scores for each side is equal!
